CVE-2017-17594

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2017-17594 is a SQL injection vulnerability in DomainSale PHP Script 1.0 that allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 'id' parameter in domain.php. This affects all installations of DomainSale PHP Script version 1.0, potentially allowing unauthorized database access and manipulation.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • DomainSale PHP Script
Versions: 1.0
Operating Systems: Any OS running PHP
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All installations of version 1.0 are vulnerable. The script appears to be a custom PHP application rather than widely distributed commercial software.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise including data theft, data destruction, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution through database functions.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data extraction from the database, including user credentials, domain listings, and sensitive configuration data.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing SQL injection.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is in a web application component accessible from the internet.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could exploit this if they have network access to the application.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: CONFIRMED
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Public exploit code is available on Exploit-DB and Packet Storm. Exploitation requires no authentication and uses simple SQL injection techniques.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: No official vendor advisory found

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Replace vulnerable domain.php file with patched version if available. 2. Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements. 3. Add input validation for the 'id' parameter. 4. Consider migrating to a maintained alternative.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Filter

all

Add input validation to ensure 'id' parameter contains only numeric values

// In domain.php, add before SQL query:
$id = filter_var($_GET['id'], FILTER_VALIDATE_INT);
if ($id === false) { die('Invalid input'); }

Web Application Firewall Rule

linux

Block SQL injection patterns in the 'id' parameter

# Example ModSecurity rule:
SecRule ARGS:id "(?i:(union|select|insert|update|delete|drop|--|#|\/\*|\*\/|@@|char|concat|benchmark))" \
"phase:2,deny,status:403,id:1001,msg:'SQL Injection Attempt'"
# Example nginx rule:
if ($args ~* "(union|select|insert|update|delete|drop|--|#|\/\*|\*\/|@@|char|concat|benchmark)") { return 403; }

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement a web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection protection rules
  • Restrict network access to the application using firewall rules or network segmentation

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the domain.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads like: domain.php?id=1' OR '1'='1

Check Version:

Check the script files for version information, typically in header comments or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Attempt SQL injection tests and verify they are blocked or produce error messages instead of successful exploitation

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL errors in application logs
  • Multiple requests with SQL keywords in parameters
  • Requests to domain.php with non-numeric 'id' values

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL injection patterns in URL parameters
  • Unusual database query patterns from the application server

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (uri="*domain.php*" AND (query="*union*" OR query="*select*" OR query="*' OR '*"))
